Is it possible to require all fields in one step of a slider form to be completed before the user can proceed to the next step in Webflow?
Yes, it is possible to require all fields in one step of a slider form to be completed before a user can proceed to the next step in Webflow. You can achieve this by utilizing Webflow's form validation feature and custom code.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to require all fields to be completed before advancing to the next step in a slider form:
Create your slider form: Start by creating a multi-step form using Webflow's Slider component. Add the necessary form fields for each step of the slider form.
Enable form validation: Select the first step of your slider form and open the Settings panel. Under the "Form" tab, enable form validation. This will automatically apply basic form validation to all the form fields within that step.
Custom code for advanced form validation: Webflow's built-in form validation checks if the fields have been filled out but doesn't offer more advanced validation options, such as ensuring all fields are completed on a specific step before advancing. To achieve this, you'll need to add some custom code.
Add a custom attribute: Select the form field on the step where you want to enforce completion before advancing. Open the Settings panel, navigate to the "Attributes" tab, and add a custom attribute called
required
to that form field. This will mark the field as required.Custom code for validation: Now, you need to write custom code to check if all the required fields have been completed before allowing the user to advance to the next step. Add an HTML embed component to the page, on the same step as your form. Inside the embed component, write a JavaScript function that checks if any of the required fields have been left empty. If any of the required fields are empty, prevent the user from advancing to the next step.
Next step button interaction: Finally, you'll need to add an interaction to the "Next" button on your slider form. Select the "Next" button, navigate to the "Interactions" panel, and create a new interaction. In the interaction, use a conditional trigger that fires the custom JavaScript function you created in step 5. Set the condition to only allow the interaction to proceed if all the required fields have been completed. If the condition is not met, prevent the user from advancing to the next step.
By following these steps, you can require all fields in one step of a slider form to be completed before the user can proceed to the next step in Webflow. This ensures that users provide all necessary information before moving forward in the form, helping you collect accurate and complete data.
